Faith S. Holsaert (fiction ’82): Faith’s story “September Snow” received an honorable mention in the Doris Betts Fiction Prize at North Carolina Literary Review.

On April 24, Faith and co-editor Martha Noonan read from Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC as part of Appalachian State University’s Diversity Lecture Series.  The two were also featured in March at the Duncan Women’s History Lecture Series, part of UNC Greensboro’s observance of Women’s History Month.  This appearance was especially meaningful, as Greensboro was the site of the February 1, 1960 sit-in that helped usher in the Civil Rights era.
